[Gs-devel] Framework build for MacOS X

[rillian]

Raph and I put together a framework build of ghostscript late last week. 
'Frameworks' are a MacOS X (and darwin?) method of packaging libraries. 
Basically the idea is that the object code, supporting data files, and 
headers all go in a directory tree which is treated as a monolithic 
unit. This makes install/uninstall trivial, allows nicely for versioning 
and fat binary distributions, and is the preferred way to handle these 
things on this platform.

Documentation on how to make them is a little sparse but what we have 
seems to work, at least on 10.1. The code-in-progress is available:

	http://casper.ghostscript.com/~giles/macosx/framework-
mak_20011111.tar.gz

If anyone wants to play with it. Just untar that in the top level of the 
gs source tree. Then:

	ln -s src/macosx.mak makefile
	make framework
	cc -o gsc -Fsobin -framework Ghostscript

you should then be able to use the gsc command-line client linked 
against the shared binary in Ghostscript.framework.

Once I get this cleaned up a bit, I'll commit it to cvs. There's also a 
binary (build by hand, not the makefile target used above) in the same 
directory on casper.

Todo:
clean it up so it doesn't break other builds
include the contents of lib (and maybe some fonts?)
get the path stuff set up right so it can be installed properly
